Best friends blueberry and lemon, flavor these crunchy, munchy, zesty Italian cookies. They’re just as happy with coffee and tea, as they are with a little glass of dessert wine. Perfect for lunchboxes and great as gifts….what’s not to love?
1Insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 355°F, for 25 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
2Place the flour, ground almonds and baking powder in a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
3Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, lemon zest and salt until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping the side of the bowl occasionally.
4Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold through the blueberries.
5Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Divide into two portions and shape each portion into a loaf, approximately 11-inches long. Place the loaves in the parchment paper-lined roasting pan, evenly spaced so there is room for them to spread.
6Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
7The loaves should be golden brown. If not, cook them a little longer.
8Cool the loaves in the pan for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, adjust the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 300°F, for 10 minutes and press Start.
9Using a serrated knife, cut each loaf into approximately ¾-inch thick slices. Place half the slices, in a single layer, in the air fry basket.
10Place the basket in rack position 3 and cook for 10 minutes.
11The biscotti should be golden and feel dry to touch. If not, cook them a little longer. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining slices.
12Biscotti can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
